greghagger Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Whenever I transcribe and analyse an iconic bass line, I look for common patterns that might be there, and there's one particular scale that I see being utilised time and time again. This scale is the Blues scale. There are in fact two Blues scales and knowing both of them gives you many options for creating your own bass lines, riffs and fills. Find out more in my latest Greg's Bass Shed video lesson. Click the link at the bottom of this email to view the lesson. The lesson PDF contains the scales and fret diagrams from the lesson so be sure to pick that up from the video description. Have fun with this one. https://youtu.be/YGB1AjtYa-Q 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velarian Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Many years ago I learned the descending opening bass line from Princess of the Streets by the Stranglers. It was several years later when I understood what a blues scale was and only then did I realise what the origin of that bass line was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a great example of a a descending Blues scale @Velarian I’ll be using that as an example in future lessons! cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
